Ir will be remembered that Q year ago Q
young lady who contested for the junior ora
torical prize st Dickinson college was made
the victim Of childish and noisy demonstra-
tions Of disspproval on the part of the male
students. There were hisses, tOrpedoes on
the stairs and prolonged ringing OF bells, all
managed tor the express purpose of embar-
rassing the lady, who had . right not only TO
. most respectful hearing, but to the most
careful and considerate treatment from fel-
low students who pretended TO be gentle
men.
This year two OF the nine contestants were
ladies, and one Of them took the first prize
over young men who had refused to contest
with the lady orator last year. The male
students showed by their hearty applause of
the ladies and by clspping the mention OF
Dickinson's first lady graduate, that they
repent the folly Of year ago, and realize
that they must accept things ~ they find
them ct college, Their approval or dissp-
proval Of CO education was not q n,atter OF

The Coke Strikers.

The coke operators are in bad way but
they do not seem worthy of much sympa-
thy. They are simply suffering from the
evil results Of their own short-sighted pol
10y Of importing Hungarians and they now
nnd that II q far more difficult to deal
With these barbarous emigrants than with
their former employees. A short time since
both sides agreed to srbitrate and an um.
pirs was selected who patiently listened to
Ill that was said, but his decision did not
please the Huns and they refused to accept
It. The executive board of the Knights of
Labor investigated the matter and ordered
the men to return to work, but that did no
good /; the men stubbOrnly refuse TO reason
and appear to imagine that in America
there 10 no power that can resist them if
they only insist upon their demands.
The operators have appealed to the gov
ern0r for the assistance of the militia in
protecting their property, and he has
vsry properly refused to raise the mill
tary arm until the failure of the civil
power to maintain order has been dem
0nstrated. When . sheriff has been
overpowered and deded, then the mil
itis may be called out. The
employment Of Pinkerton detectives in
large force does not seem to be either
wise or lawful measure. There are enough
law-abiding people in every part Of this
state to enforce order, and il properly ap-
pealed 70 and directed, this force alone
would Overawe the Huns, but by the en-
ployment Of mercenaries the operators de.
clare their intention 10 take the public
duty upon themselves and spurn the senti.
ment that would sustain the majesty of the
law. The employment of these so-called
detectives evades the letter, but delies the
spirit Of the law, which forbids the enroll
ment Of armed bands without authority.
They get authority by calling themselves
detectives, but they are soldiers armed and
drilled, and if law be not brought to re-
strain them, the time may come when
troops organized as detectives +" will
menace the civil power.
